Hatch Imposing His Will
Utah Senator Orrin G. Hatch apparently hasn't been paying attention to the local news for the past couple of months. Were he aware of what's going on in the District he couldn't possibly be serious about tacking on an amendment to the bill that would protect gun makers form lawsuits. Hatch's possible amendment: repealing the District's ban on handgun possession.
Shootings in and around our schools; the execution-style killing of a 14-year old girl; the populace getting excited about 11 consecutive murder-free days. Hatch takes these as signs that DC residents are clamoring for handguns, and damn it, he's going to be the one to give them to us.
To you Orrin, I offer a "fuck you" from the cockle of my heart. Yes, I said cockle...

Hatch has been at this forever. Maybe his next bill will force DC record stores to carry his albums.
